Feb 25, 2011

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The first 300 fans who are wearing purple
into Eblen Center Saturday night will be admitted free to Tennessee
Tech's Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader against Jacksonville
State. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the women's game tips at 5:30
p.m.

Coach Sytia Messer's team brings a 14-3 OVC record into the
contest, and holds a one-game lead over Morehead State and UT
Martin, both winners Thursday night to keep the pressure on the
Golden Eagles. Those two OVC foes face each other in Martin
Saturday, so one will finish with a 14-4 record. Tech has already
assured itself of at least a share of the OVC title, but the Golden
Eagles can clinch the crown outright with a win over Jacksonville
State.

The men's game against the Gamecocks will follow at 7:30 p.m., and
will be Senior Night, featuring a farewell to senior players Alfred
Jones, Charles Newton and Byron Pickens.

Ticket Office in Eblen Center or call (931) 372-3940.
